Ford will be pleased when he hears it; for there'll be no statue if you set your face against it. It'll be then that Mr. Ford will be proud of himself. He'll be saying all round the Country that it was him put a stop to it." "It will not be him that put a stop to it." "It's what he'll say, anyway," said Doyle. Gallagher finished his whisky in two large gulps. "Let him," he said.
It wasn't because they went out o' meetin', was it? I think it would be a satisfaction to the company, Captain, if you would relate the circumstance." The brave and honest captain craned his neck about with several hard gulps.
Peck sipped her brandy-and-water, putting a constraint on herself in so doing for her natural taste would have led her to swallow it in large gulps, but that would not have answered her purpose of impressing Mr. Dempster she began to talk of the letter she had received from Melbourne, which had distressed her so much.
"H'm. Did he say anything about my letters in the Herald?" Mrs. Nevill Tyson hesitated. "N-no. Not much." "What did he say!" "Oh I think he only said it was rather a pity you'd mixed yourself up with it." "Damn his impertinence!" He flicked the card with a disdainful fingernail and followed his wife into the drawing-room. She gave him some tea to keep him quiet; he drank it in passionate gulps.
It appeared that they had floated around together in the dark; had witnessed the sinking of the gunboat Strassburg and, when it went down, had been caught in the swell of the water and carried far from the lights of the Dewey. They had seen the submarine when it turned on its powerful searchlights. "Bill and I thought we were done for," said Ted between gulps of coffee.
The stranger ordered a second glass of grog, and drank it in gulps, and fell into such deep thought that he let his cigar go out. Evidently, a man in search of an idea. And, to all appearance, he found what he wanted on a sudden. In a hurry he paid his reckoning, and left his small change and his unfinished cigar on the table, and was off before the waiter could say, "Thank you."
"It looks to me like Parker's sort of losing out," Chuck suddenly remarked, as he wiped his lips on the back of his hand after washing down a mouthful of the savory stew with gulps of steaming coffee. "Ophelia stuck closer than thunder to Old Heck all through the Rodeo." Parker reddened and growled: "Aw, hell don't start that up again!"
Monty drank off the contents of the tumbler in two long, delicious gulps! Then he flung the horn upon the floor and laughed aloud. "That's better," he cried, "that's better! What an ass you are, Trent! To imagine that a drain like that would have any effect at all, save to put life into a man! Bah! what do you know about it?" Trent did not raise his head.
When Amabel had had her hot bath, and had drunk her sage tea by compulsory gulps, and been tucked into Ellen's bed, her childhood reasserted itself. Gradually her body and her bodily needs gained the ascendancy over the unnatural strain of her mind. She fell asleep, and lay like one dead.
Filling the cup swiftly, she lifted the youngster in her arms and came over to sit in the door beside Shoofly at Everett's feet. With dignified deliberation Peter began to consume his draft in slow gulps, and after each one he lifted his eyes to Rose Mary's face as if rendering courteous appreciation for the consumed portion.
